I broke my fiance's heart in high school, and she broke mine. We actually have an interesting story.

We were together from 8th grade until 10th grade, and even went to a dance together when we weren't officially a couple in 10th grade. We both dated other people while when we were broken up and it was heartbreaking for both of us. Seeing her with other people was just horrible, and she felt the same. We just didn't talk to each other about it at the time. When we were 19 I saw her at a party and for some reason I thought it was the perfect opportunity to talk to her, and let her know that I was still in love with her and had been in love with her the whole time. We ended up talking for hours that night, and have been together ever since. We're both now 25 and are more in love with each other than ever.

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

If Paul Pierce is your most hated player because of that bull shit knee injury, I'm going to agree with you.

What do you do for a living?

I'm still going to school so for right now I'm working two part-time jobs.

One of them is in relation to what I'm going to school for. I work for a sign company in North Hollywood, doing simple Graphic Design stuff as well as answering phones and dealing with customers. I hope to work there full-time after I graduate.

The other is just a work study position at my school. Just basically an excuse to get paid a little bit of money while I do my homework. I'm just an office assistant, so there will be times where they literally don't need me at all.

So why did you goto the Philippines?

Did you eat some duck eggs aka bulot?

Having seen some 3rd world poverty, what do you feel is the biggest whine that the average US citizens gripes about, that in reality, is not a big deal at all when comparing the status of other countries in the world?

Well my fiance and her family invited me. She is Filipina, and her family was having sort of a family reunion for her grandma's birthday that lives in Manila. We spent most of our time in Manila, but went to an island called Boracay too. This was the best part of the trip, because it consisted of relaxing, drinking, and dancing. The U.S. dollar goes so far over there, it's awesome. We stayed at a 5 star resort that probably would have been at least $1,000 a night here, but was only $350 a night over there. And my tabs every night at the bars were like $20 total for my fiancee and I!

Haha no, but I might be down to try it some day. We never even saw that over there. According to her parents it's not a common thing to eat.

There are so many things that we take for granted here in the U.S., I don't even know where to begin. Over there it's an everyday struggle to put food on the table for a lot of people. Which is also a problem in the U.S., but over there the problem is out of control. There are little kids all over the place selling flowers that they make into necklaces and bracelets just so that they can make a few pesos. On more than one occasion we bought something from one of the kids and they would run right over to their parents, who were in the background somewhere, and immediately give them the money.

My family background is English/German. I have a distant cousin that lives in England who I talk to on FB sometimes.

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

You're the new white guy in the family?

Wonderful! So, how many other white guys are in the family?

I was the anchor baby, so I find it interesting for your fiance's parents to say bulot is not commonly eaten, when you head to a filipino market in SoCal people stock up on those purple eggs. The bill is kinda fucked, but I do remember it being sarap (tasty).

Does the filipino taglish make you laugh? Have you overhead your name dropped between gossip and tagalog? It's an interesting culture, the one of the filipino. Finally, what exactly got you into Daft Punk?

Re: Get to know your fellow board members....

I'm the only white guy that's part of her immediate family, but her cousin is about to get married to a white guy too.

Haha really? I'll have to try it someday, and make my fiance do the same.

Yes it does make me laugh. Her parents are constantly speaking an English/Tagalog mix, so much so that it's to the point where I can have an idea of what they're saying.

When we first start dating her grandma lived with her family for a while, and didn't like me. She would always mix my name in with Tagalog and I assumed she was talkin shit haha. She loves me now though so it's all good.

I had known who Daft Punk was because I would hear songs like "Around the World," on the radio as a kid, but didn't really get into them until I was 16. I started smoking weed regularly, which I really think helped me open my mind to exploring new genres of music. As I explored more, I started to get really into all types of Electronic music, and fell in love with DP. I was lucky enough to see them at Coachella a few years later, and again at the Sports Arena, which made me love them even more.
